Saving a set of BMW wheels by CriptykCS in DIY

[–]DavidLuizshair[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting to /r/DIY!

Your submission has been removed because you need to add description text to the photos that you posted.

Please read this entire message before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators about your post.

Photo descriptions must detail important aspects of your project, including:

  • the materials you used, including fasteners and finishing materials

  • the tools you used for the various steps, including power and hand tools, and

  • construction methods - what did you do to get from one picture to the next? How did you fasten? How did you cut? How did you prep? How did you paint? Why did you do it that way?

The rule is that when submitting a post, assume that the reader is not familiar with the subject matter, and approach it as if you are teaching a classroom how to replicate your project. Remember that people who read your post may not have the same knowledge and background that you do, so don't assume that readers will understand what you did. What may be obvious to you may not be obvious to the reader.

Please note that putting the description of the project as a comment will not suffice.

Please feel free to add descriptions to your photos, and message the moderators when you have done so. We will review your descriptions and restore your post if the descriptions look good. We will try our best to work with you to get your post restored.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.

If you believe this is a mistake, please message the moderators.

Thank you.

Please read this entire message carefully before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators

Your post appears to be to the wrong subreddit.

Your post may have been removed because:

  • It's more of a "craft" project than a "DIY" project. Posts about paper projects, origami, candles, small decorative items, etc. should probably be posted in /r/crafts.

  • It's about paying someone to do a job. In this case, you might try /r/HomeImprovement.

If you're not sure where your post belongs, try posting to /r/findareddit or searching the subreddit list to find an appropriate subreddit.

See the posting guidelines for more information. If you believe this is a mistake, please message the moderators. Thank you.

We LOVE questions in /r/DIY. We really do! BUT please do some research before bringing your question to /r/DIY.

Please read this entire message before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators about your post

We LOVE questions! However, we should not be your first stop when you run into a problem or have a question. Your post has been removed because a Moderator thinks you should be able to find your answer pretty easily by Googling, or searching around in this subreddit.

You have a couple of options:

  • Search this subreddit using the Search box in the sidebar to see if someone has already solved your problem before, or to see if another post here sheds some light on your question.

  • Use Google to do general background research on your topic. If those searches don't turn up an answer to your specific question, please include the details of your research when you ask your question here so that we don't cover the same ground again. Provide as much detail as possible.

  • If you have a question about a product, device, or material, please try contacting the manufacturer, reading the manual or instructions, or browsing their website, and try to find the answer there before posting your question. If you have already done this, you need to specify this in your post.

  • If you've done research, please re-submit your question and describe what you have learned from that research, and your resulting specific question(s).

Additionally, consider the stickied Simple Questions thread at the top of /r/DIY for your question, if applicable.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.

Moderators are human, too, just like you, and sometimes we make mistakes. If you believe this is a mistake, please message the moderators. Thank you.

Thank you for posting to /r/DIY!

Your question has been removed because it's not specific enough.

Please read this entire message before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators about your post.

We LOVE questions - we really do! - but help request posts are only appropriate if you have a specific question about an aspect of a DIY project. Questions should include a description of the project you want to do, and details of what you need help with. Include photos if you can.

This subreddit is about HOW to do things. If your question can't be reduced to a sentence that starts with the word "How", then it probably doesn't belong here.

The following types of questions aren't allowed here - if your post contains any of the following, that's probably why it was removed:

  1. asking for aesthetic judgments (i.e., what color to paint something, whether something would look "good")

  2. asking whether you should do a project

  3. asking "Has anyone built anything like X?"

  4. asking how to "get started" on a project

  5. asking if a project is "easy"

  6. asking which way to approach a project would be best

  7. asking "What should I make?"

  8. asking "What's the best way to make X?"

  9. asking "Does anyone have any ideas for?"

  10. asking "Where can I buy a _____?"

  11. asking "What is this thing called?"

  12. asking "How do I get started with _______?"

  13. asking "Does anyone have any links?"

  14. asking "Has anyone ever used/made X?"

You have a few options:

  1. If you have a project in mind, do some research, put together a basic plan for your project, and re-post a specific question about your project. Your question should describe what you want to accomplish, what you have researched, and a specific question about HOW to accomplish it. If you can re-word your question so that it starts with the word "how", it's probably OK here.

  2. If appropriate, please repost your question in the stickied Simple Questions thread at the top of /r/DIY. It's a weekly thread intended for more general questions. It's usually very active, and you will probably get some answers.

  3. Post your question in another subreddit, such as /r/HomeImprovement, /r/woodworking, /r/whatisthisthing, etc.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.

The Moderators are human, just like you, and sometimes we make mistakes. If you believe that the removal or your post is a mistake, please message the moderators. Thank you.

Thanks for posting to /r/DIY!

Your post has been removed because it's not about a DIY project, or you didn't ask a question.

Please read this entire message before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators about your post.

Posts in /r/DIY can either:

1) show a completed project that you did yourself, or

2) ask a question about a specific aspect of a specific DIY project.

The following types of questions and posts aren't allowed here - if your post contains any of the following, that's probably why it was removed:

  • asking about a project that you someone else did, or that you want someone else to do.

  • asking for recommendations about a tool or a material (unless it relates to a specific aspect of a project you are doing and which you describe in your post).

  • Fundraising or survey posts.

  • A "DIY tips" or product recommendations.

  • Any other post that is not a "project post" or does not contain a specific question about a DIY project.

You have a couple of options:

  1. Try another subreddit instead, such as /r/homeimprovement or /r/fixit.

  2. If appropriate, you can re-post a question as a comment in the Simple Questions thread at the top of /r/DIY. It's a weekly thread intended for more general questions.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.

  2. asking whether you should do a project

  3. asking "Has anyone built anything like X?"

  4. asking how to "get started" on a project

  5. asking if a project is "easy"

  6. asking which way to approach a project would be best

  7. asking "What should I make?"

  8. asking "What's the best way to make X?"

  9. asking "Does anyone have any ideas for?"

  10. asking "Where can I buy a _____?"

  11. asking "What is this thing called?"

  12. asking "How do I get started with _______?"

  13. asking "Does anyone have any links?"

  14. asking "Has anyone ever used/made X?"

You have a few options:

  1. If you have a project in mind, do some research, put together a basic plan for your project, and re-post a specific question about your project. Your question should describe what you want to accomplish, what you have researched, and a specific question about HOW to accomplish it. If you can re-word your question so that it starts with the word "how", it's probably OK here.

  2. If appropriate, please repost your question in the stickied Simple Questions thread at the top of /r/DIY. It's a weekly thread intended for more general questions. It's usually very active, and you will probably get some answers.

  3. Post your question in another subreddit, such as /r/HomeImprovement, /r/woodworking, /r/whatisthisthing, etc.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.

We LOVE questions in /r/DIY. We really do! BUT please do some research before bringing your question to /r/DIY.

Please read this entire message before you reply, and before you contact the Moderators about your post

We LOVE questions! However, we should not be your first stop when you run into a problem or have a question. Your post has been removed because a Moderator thinks you should be able to find your answer pretty easily by Googling, or searching around in this subreddit.

You have a couple of options:

  • Search this subreddit using the Search box in the sidebar to see if someone has already solved your problem before, or to see if another post here sheds some light on your question.

  • Use Google to do general background research on your topic. If those searches don't turn up an answer to your specific question, please include the details of your research when you ask your question here so that we don't cover the same ground again. Provide as much detail as possible.

  • If you have a question about a product, device, or material, please try contacting the manufacturer, reading the manual or instructions, or browsing their website, and try to find the answer there before posting your question. If you have already done this, you need to specify this in your post.

  • If you've done research, please re-submit your question and describe what you have learned from that research, and your resulting specific question(s).

Additionally, consider the stickied Simple Questions thread at the top of /r/DIY for your question, if applicable.

We encourage you to read the posting guidelines for more information.
